The Toronto Maple Leafs are nearing that point in training camp where some cuts are bound to happen.

Even Mike Babcock agrees, having stated his desire to whittle down the Leafs’ two split squads into something resembling the opening night lineup. So, now we play the waiting game.

Players enter camp as long shots all the time, only to put in a hard day’s work and end up shocking the world to make the team. We’ve seen it year after year, and this one is no different.

Which player do you think will shock everyone and make the opening night roster? 

The answers may indeed surprise you.
